Eddie Kingston speaks.
It was just after his match at WrestleDream, and he asks, “Whaddya want, Jean Carlo? I just been through a war with Shibata. And we did it all to the spirit of Antonio Inoki. Tried to lay it out there, and tried to do it Japanese style. I’m trying to learn and still learning, but respect greatly, so I’m trying to bring it here to America. And whether people like it or not, this is what I love, and that’s the style I love. And being able to share that with Shibata was something special. I respect that man, I team up with that man, I have nothing but… I got mad love for ya.
“What’s next? I dunno, Lethal popped off. Stokely’s poppin’ off. Look, I guess that’s the problem with being a champion. I don’t know, Jean Carlo, I just wanna go eat some of the… They got that Snickers joint. The Snickers peanut butter pie down in catering. That’s all I wanna do, bro. Then I’ll worry about sauna and all that stuff after to look like a wrestler. Still double champ, though.” The Mad King is ready to celebrate his way, but who will step to his throne next?
ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Leyla Hirsch!
The Fallen Goddess doesn’t think her Minion is “getting it.” There is no mercy or compassion when it comes to dominating the top of the mountain! Will Athena make sure that message is loud and clear? Or will there be a LEGIT champion in ROH?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who gets their point across!
The Code of Honor is upheld but barely, and the bell rings. Fans rally and the two circle while fans like Billie’s Seattle Seahawks colored Minion In Training shirt. Leyla waistlocks and drags Athena down, but Athena fights up. Leyla blocks the snapmare to wrench, but Athena handsprings to wrench and arm-drag! Athena kips up and Billie cheers her on, as do the fans. But then Athena turns around into a SHOTGUN! Leyla ROCKS Athena in a corner with a forearm, then runs to jump and SWINGING DROPKICK!

And The Fallen Goddess is the first woman in ROH to reach 40 wins!! 40-0 at that, but then Athena SUPERKICKS Leyla back down! Athena continues to show no mercy or respect, and Billie tells her to stop before going further. Athena thinks about it, and rolls her eyes as she actually spares Leyla! Billie smiles and heads out with the Overlord. Will anyone ever stop Athena’s reign of terror? But then Maria Kanellis-Bennett walks out on stage. And she gives Leyla the “I told you so.” Leyla earned the opportunity, but will she need The First Lady of Wrestling to help her win the title?
Backstage interview with Christopher Daniels and Rocky Romero.
Lexi Nair is with The Fallen Angel and Azucar, both men with rich history in ROH. They’ve both held titles at one point, but tonight is the first time these two have actually faced each other in an ROH match. Rocky says he has nothing but respect for CD, and because of their match at the Super 8 years ago, Rocky got his opportunity to be in ROH, which helped him become a three-time ROH World Tag Team Champion. Daniels appreciates that, and he has followed Rocky’s career. Former ROH World Tag Team Champion. Former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion. Current CMLL Welterweight Champion. One of the best in the world.
But if Daniels can win, he gets back on the championship track. Both men are going to bring their very best tonight, so may the best man win. Rocky says that sounds good. Daniels will bring the salsa, but Rocky brings the sugar. Well, Daniels knows a thing or two about spice. Who will be the one that gets hot tonight in Seattle?
Josh Woods w/ Mark Sterling VS Tyler Payne!
The Technical Beast is on a winning streak, still building his case for one more shot at Katsuyori Shibata and the ROH Pure Championship. Will Woods still have the goods? Or will he simply feel the Payne?

Woods slips right out to snapmare, and then he fakes the Penalty Kick to pat Payne on the head. Payne gets mad but Woods offers him a leg.

No strikes to the face, no ropebreaks needed, and not even a bead of sweat. Woods still shows respect to Payne with the Code of Honor, but will Woods get his second shot at Shibata?
Christopher Daniels VS Rocky Romero!
We just heard from the Fallen Angel and Azucar, and now they will put words to action! Who will be the better man here tonight, also aimed for title opportunities?

Daniels wanted to get back on track towards a championship against a champion, but Rocky stops him before he gets started! But at least they both show respect with the Code of Honor. Will the Fallen Angel ever rise to former glory? Will Rocky look to add another championship to his collection in the near future?
Backstage interview with Dalton Castle.
Lexi is with The Peacock as he seems to be rather stressed out. He is feeling the pressure of the fans? Yes… Not just the fans. Everything! His heart’s been racing, he has no time to himself, he couldn’t even put together a proper ensemble! Look at this! A white tee and jeans? He’s a blank canvas! His heart’s racing 12 million miles a minute. That’s the fastest you can go, by the way. Lexi isn’t sure about that but okay. Well feel it. Feel his heart. You feel that? Yeah. Does he have any plans to combat this stress? Yes, he has to give the people what they want. And what is that? Castle knows that when he is on screen, the ratings spike, the viewers are happier, and TV is just better!
So Castle has to find a way to be on screen more. Give the people what they want! Give them what they deserve! Oh, but where does that begin? Certainly not with this shirt! Not this shirt! Castle heads out and Lexi isn’t sure what’s going on, but will Castle find his way to be the star of ROH programming?

There’s plenty of battles in the war, and they plan on getting back on their winning ways. And Carlie says what better way to do that than to go against a team like Tizzle Mizzle Dizzle Kizzle, The Mighty Don’t Kneel. Two men known all around the world for whooping ass and winning wars.

He looked into national statistics, and has found exactly why Seattle is at the top of the obesity levels in America. It is because of one thing: carbs are the enemy! Nese holds up a loaf of white bread as Sterling says they are waging war on bread, and anyone that likes it! AKA Kojima. Lexi says good luck with that… Will Nese take down the leader of Bread Club? Or will he regret going against the grain?

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi is with All Ego as he has his fourth win. He is getting people talking, taking notice, including ROH World Champion, Eddie Kingston. Is that so? Eddie is watching Ethan? Good! Ethan hopes everyone in ROH is watching, because Ethan is watching everyone in ROH. From day one, he said he wanted competition, and every single week, ROH has delivered that to Ethan tenfold! And so if Eddie is watching, Ethan asks he pay close attention. Ethan is switching it up every single week, and his confidence grows every single week. The ego is refilling, so when Ethan gets to 100%, he’s ready for Eddie at any time.
In fact, that also goes for everyone in ROH. Next week, Ethan is looking for his fifth win in a row. Will the streak continue on until we see All Ego go for the Mad King’s crown?
Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS Satoshi Kojima!
We heard from the Premier Athlete and Smart Mark earlier, but Smart Mark has the mic to cut Bobby Cruise off and tells everyone that his client has something to say. Nese tells Seattle that the last time he was here, he was wiping the floor with their hometown hero. Yeah, boo, he’s overrated, Nese agrees. But Nese has good news for them. Nese is here today on a different mission. Nese is here because he wants to help every single one of them to stop being fat, disgusting, out-of-shape, pathetic losers! Fans boo but Nese says he’ll start with a lesson. Each and every one here needs to lay off the carbs!
For example, Exhibit A: bread! Who here likes bread? The fans all cheer! That’s Nese’s point. That is why they are all sitting there while he stands here looking like a million bucks. But wait! Here comes Kojima! Fans fire up for the leader of Bread Club! But Nese still wants to talk! He asks Kojima what his problem is, and Kojima asks to speak. Nese holds up the mic to him, and he says, “I. Love. Bread.” Fans cheer and Nese is upset. Nese says everyone can calm down. We can all tell Kojima likes bread. But Nese is in a good mood tonight. If Kojima likes bread, Nese will give him a gift. Nese drops the loaf, to STOMP it?!
Fans boo and Kojima is offended! The bell rings, will Kojima make sure Nese is toast? Nese and Kojima circle and fans fire up for “BREAD! BREAD!

Athena speaks.
“Here we are once again. Minion Training Session 2. It’s like Minion Training 1, but only harder.” Lexi showed promise but Billie… Athena blows the whistle and tells them to turn around to go down the stairs now. “Billie still sucks.” Billie and Lexi catch their breath but they feel like throwing up. Athena tells them to keep going! They then do squats and Athena says she designed this program for “Minion Empowerment.” She doesn’t just do it all herself. She listens to others, takes advice from others and… that makes Billie laugh, which Athena hears and frowns at.
Lexi says Athena is great. She’s kind, understanding, passionate, patient. You can’t say a bad word about her. Billie isn’t so sure about that, and then Athena CLOBBERS a ROH staffer just for bumping into her! Billie wonders what that makes Athena to them. A mentor, of course. Oh, right, of course. Athena shouts at refs on sight, though… Bobby Cruise helps Billie & Lexi announce Athena’s name with some oomph, and Billie says it is surprising Lexi came in with this with no experience and is just killing it. Athena’s tough, but Billie’s glad she has Lexi with her. Lexi says it is disappointing that Billie is just sloppy and has bad cardio.
Athena says this concludes session number two. Lexi passes with flying colors. Billie… still sucks. But for that, she gets one more very special task, as punishment. She has to prank Tony Khan!? She knocks on his door, opens it and pretends to be Willow! “My name is Willow and I’m a big loser!” Uh… Well, will Billie make up for her apparently failure by winning her match?
Billie Starkz w/ Athena VS Trish Adora!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Billie circles with Trish. Billie holds her hand up to call for knuckle locks, and Trish obliges, but then Billie changes hands. And switches hands again. And again! Trish gets that hand, wrenches and WRINGS Billie, then wrenches and WRINGS her the other way! Billie bails out, Athena wants time, and Athena coaches Billie to get in there and kick Trish in the face! Or else Athena kicks Billie in the face!

She stomps and kicks and stomps more, but Trish blocks! Trish BOOTS and BOOTS and BOOTS! Trish eggs Billie on, but Billie spins her to knee SMASH and HEEL KICK! Then waistlock, but Trish switches! Billie fights the lift, but Trish powers through to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Billie survives but fans rally up for her. Trish storms up on Billie, fans duel, and Trish ROCKS Billie! And ROCKS her again! Billie dodges but Trish ROLLING ELBOWS!

Athena is all fired up! The Star Ten into the crossface, Athena is impressed! Will this help Billie graduate from Minion In Training to true, full-fledged Minion? Or does she need to keep winning to further impress the Fallen Goddess?
Lee Johnson VS Darius Martin!
Big Shotty’s been struggling to get going in ROH, but he hasn’t given up either! Will he be able to hit the bull’s eye here tonight? Or will the Air Wolf take off in his own singles aspirations?
The Code of Honor is upheld and they even hug before the bell. The fans applaud as the two circle. They tie up, Darius wrenches and wristlocks, but Johnson rolls, kips up and wrenches back. Darius slips around, headlocks, chinbars, then keeps on the headlock. Johnson powers his way out the back, headlocks in return, but Darius powers out. Johnson runs Darius over but Darius is right up, only for Johnson to headlock takeover. Darius headscissors, Johnson kips free. Roles reverses as Darius headlocks for the takeover and then Johnson headscissors. Darius kips free, he sweeps and covers, ONE!
Johnson sweeps, covers, TWO! Darius and Johnson stand, and they shake hands again. Fans cheer the exchange and the sportsmanship as the two reset. They tie up, Darius headlocks, but Johnson powers up and out. Darius sunset flips, Johnson rolls through and basement dropkicks! Darius goes to ropes while Johnson pumps up. Johnson runs in but into BOOTS! Darius runs in but Johnson hip tosses, only for Darius to handspring, arm-drag and mule kick! Johnson blocks the front kick to ROCK Darius!

Darius whips, Johnson reverses and DROPKICKS! Big Shotty flexes and fans rally up. Cover, TWO! We see Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty watching this match. They got the better of Johnson in 1v1 matches, what’re they scouting him for? Johnson squeezes Darius with a chinlock and fans rally for “BOTH THESE GUYS!” Darius fights up, pries the hold open, and headlocks in return! Johnson shoves free, Darius turns the dropdown into a kickflip and BIG back suplex! Fans fire up while both men are down! The ref starts a standing count while both men stir. They both rise at 5 of 10, and head for each other!
Darius blocks shots, fires shots, but Johnson ducks a kick and jumps the sweep! Johnson ROCKS Darius, but Darius CHOPS back! Darius dodges, runs, turns hurdle into atomic drop, then he runs to BULLDOG in the ropes! GAMANGIRI! Johnson flops back and fans fire up with Darius, he steps in to COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO! Johnson is still in this but Darius stays focused. “This is Awesome!” as Darius suplexes. Johnson slips free, waistlocks, but Darius elbows free! Only for Johnson to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another clinch, BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!!
Darius survives and Johnson is stunned! Johnson pounds the mat, fires himself up, and he runs in to UPPERCUT at the corner! Johnson keeps moving, Darius follows but Johnson ROCKS him! Johnson runs in but Darius dodges the splash! Darius steps in, into a SUPERKICK! Johnson reels Darius in but Darius suplexes first! Darius goes up to FROG SPLASH! Cover, Darius wins!
Winner: Darius Martin, by pinfall
Big Shotty couldn’t hit the mark, and now Air Wolf is picking up speed! Darius shows his friend respect with the Code of Honor, is the fight far from over for Johnson?
Fatal 4 Way Tag: Shane Taylor Promotions VS The Workhorsemen VS The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS Cole Karter & Griff Garrison w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett!
This is a huge match for the ROH Tag Division! We just saw Big Bad Shaney T. and #TAIGASTYLE watching from backstage, but now they’re in action against JD Drake & Anthony Henry, as well as Dirty Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder, as well as the Ivy League MVP and Diamond in the Rough.

In this kind of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal at a time. Lee Moriarty and Anthony Henry uphold the Code of Honor, the bell rings, and the two circle.

Henry KICKS Karter in the back, then storms up on him, but Karter scrambles away. Griff hops off the apron? He’s not about to get in there with the Saint of Augusta. Karter says fine, and he tags in Bronson. Bronson and Henry tie up, Henry headlocks but Bronson powers out! Bronson says nope! He gonna motorboat! But Henry SLAPS Bronson! Bronson runs in but Henry arm-drags him to the corner! Henry runs in to forearm smash while he tags JD. Henry snapmares Bronson down, NECK TWISTS, and then JD slingshot SENTONS! Fans rally as JD taunts the savage sauce. Bronson throws a forearm, but JD ROCKS Bronson!

Winners: Shane Taylor Promotions, by pinfall
Karter took his eye off the ball, and that allowed Bad Boy Shaney T. to knock it out the park! Will STP finally have those ROH World Tag Team Championships? Or will MJF stay strong for his brochacho?
Six Man Tag: Gravity, Komander & Metalik w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Gringo Loco & Spanish Announce Project!
The league of super luchadores is back in action again in what will surely be a fast and furious main event! Will the Astronaut, the Commander and the King of the Ropes have a fiesta in Seattle? Or will the Crazy White Boy make a strong third for Angelico y Serpentico?

Abrahantes celebrates with his stable! Combine this with Rey Fenix being AEW International Champion, is lucha libre going to take over the world?
My Thoughts:
A good episode of ROH, but it was over two hours. I can’t keep doing these if they’re not going to be consistent in length. Also, the match order kinda didn’t make sense, which is sadly how ROH just is, apparently. The women’s title opening, and we still have Athena doing a vignette with Billie and Lexi? The title match was awesome stuff, and the vignette was hilarious, but it just feels like the order was backwards. Give us the vignette first, then Billie’s match, then Athena VS Leyla in the main event because that has a title and story all in it. Not that the Six Man Tag main event wasn’t a lot of fun, but it didn’t have story. Story based main event is superior to fun filler main event.
Really good Fatal 4 Way Tag, but I figured Shane & Moriarty were going to win after they also were watching Johnson. Johnson VS Darius was also a great match, and Darius winning made sense, too. Johnson might get to the point where he actually joins up with Shane Taylor Promotions after seeing Shane & Moriarty get ahead. Ethan Page of course wins against Khash, but I was surprised he called out Eddie Kingston. The sad thing is, as I just said last night for Dynamite, more ROH stuff gets done on AEW programming than on ROH TV, because Johnny TV, Komander, Pentagon and Lince Dorado are the contender’s match on Rampage, no Ethan to be found.
And then, while the other matches were a lot of fun, they were a lot of filler, too. Woods gets another win to build towards the Pure Championship, but also kinda biding time. Daniels VS Rocky was a roundabout way to add to Daniels’ story, I guess. TMDK gets a great match and great win off Infantry, but I don’t want AEW/ROH dragging in more NJPW people when they can’t even use their AEW/ROH people all that well. If TMDK is gonna be stateside, they should just be in NJPW Strong. Kojima and Nese had a really fun segment, especially with Seattle enjoying the bread stuff. ROH was recorded on the same night as Collision, so this explains why Seattle was so ready for bread on Sunday. Great win for Kojima off Nese, though this might’ve just been for the fitness trend of hating on bread.
The Six Woman Tag was to keep Willow, Kiera & Skye strong, and I’m curious to see what happens with how Willow and Skye were both misted. And when the House of Black mists you, something happens to you, aka a Heel turn. It’s what happened to Julia Hart, so maybe it happens to Skye? Skye seemed gloomier than Willow, so it should be Skye turning to stay fresh, and then Willow is the one with a strong enough optimism to stay away from the House of Black.

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

Taiji lets go, then grins as he brings Yoh back up. Taiji gut wrenches, and CIPHER UTAKI! But Taiji says that’s not all! He aims his finger gun, says BANG, and then brings Yoh back in. But Yoh suplexes, FALCON GOROSHI! Both men are down and the fans rally up again!
Yoh and Taiji slowly stir, rise up, and Yoh fires a forearm! Taiji fires back! Yoh fires another, Taiji fires another, repeat! They pick up speed and the fans rally! Taiji LARIATS but Yoh stays up! Yoh LARIATS but Taiji stays up! They both roar, and DOUBLE LARIAT! Yoh runs up but Taiji JUMP KNEES! BANG and BLOODY- NO, Yoh wrenches out to HEADBUTT! Both men fall and the fans fire up! Taiji and Yoh stir, but Yoh sits up first. Yoh roars, slaps his bad arm into working, and then crawls over to Taiji. Yoh underhooks but Taiji fights the lift! Taiji wrenches out but Yoh full nelsons! Taiji fights that, but Yoh ripcords!

Taiji escapes but Yoh vows to end this! The fans are thunderous as Yoh hauls Taiji up! DIRECT DRIVE!!! Cover, YOH WINS!!!
Winner: Yoh, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Taiji earns 0)
The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
